1. An electronic device comprising:
a set of antenna panels at different locations and configured to transmit and receive radar signals; and
one or more processors configured to
identify a position of an object relative to the set of antenna panels based on the transmitted and received radar signals,
transmit wireless data over an antenna panel in the set of antenna panels that is selected based on the identified position of the object, and
generate projected radio-frequency exposure (RFE) values for the set of antenna panels based on the transmitted and received radar signals, the antenna panel in the set of antenna panels being configured to transmit a report to a wireless base station that includes the projected RFE values for the set of antenna panels.
